Turnbuckle is a device for tightening a rod or wire rope. Its components are sleeves connected with screws at one end and a turntable at the other end. The two ends are hook, eye and hook. The turn buckle can be attached to any convenient place on the rod or rope, or several can be connected in series if desired.Pipe – pipe turnbuckles are a version of stainless-steel manufacturing but the body of the turnbuckle is enclosed in stainless steel pipe for cosmetic reasons such as wire railings so that threads are not visible unlike standard turnbuckle hardware. UNC threaded so the fittings can be interchanged with standard turnbuckle fittings. A mechanical device used to adjust the tension or length of ropes, cables, tie rods, and other tensioning systems. It consists of two threaded eye bolts, one with a left-hand thread and the other with a right-hand thread, which are connected by a central body that can be rotated. This central body is often in the shape of a barrel, hexagonal nut, or hook.
Functionality:
All of our turnbuckles are manufactured in strict compliance with ASTM F1145-92 standards. They undergo hot-dip galvanization to ensure durability and resistance to environmental conditions. These turnbuckles are recommended for use in straight or in-line pull applications exclusively.
The Hook & Eye type open body Turnbuckles are designed to provide an adjustable rigging connection that applies tension between two components, typically wire ropes and suspension points. The hook end features a wider design for enhanced strength, while the elongated eye at the opposite end facilitates easy attachment and reduces stress concentration.
Turnbuckles can be utilized independently or in combination with other turnbuckles to extend the length of an assembly. They serve as critical connection points for adjusting slack and tension within ropes, cables, or other rigging assemblies. Applications range from simple structures such as fences to complex systems like suspension bridges. Turnbuckles are widely employed across various industries, including construction, aviation, maritime transport, sports, and entertainment.

Application of Turnbuckle
Advantages:
Galvanized Turnbuckles – hot dip galvanized steel for durability, resistance to corrosives, and weather resistance. Made for in-line or straight pull applications only. Specification of Turnbuckle: Stainless Steel – from small turnbuckles to larger assemblies 316L stainless turnbuckles offer high corrosion resistance and durability with standard UNC threading to interchange turnbuckle hardware. Stainless steel turnbuckles offer the highest resistance to high chloride or high moisture environments.
End fittings are Quenched and Tempered or Normalized, bodies heat treated by normalizing. Hot Dip galvanized steel. Lock Nuts available for all sizes.
Proof load is 2.5 times of WLL, and Breaking load is 5 times of WLL.
